Today's Your Day! ! ! Poem by Guess Who

Today's not yesterday
Today you're seventeen
if you know what i mean
Today cakes are cooked
Horns are blown
My heart shall groan
for you approach with your gown
My lovely you have grown
I should remember the day
your eyes expressed it to me
Too bad times have changed
Hearts got engaged
Departures are common
Suppose this is what life is about
So wish you hope
Wish you could cope
Wish you be respected
Wish you be loved
Wish to understand what happened
Wish to understand what changed
Wish we stay close
but not very close
Just as close
Wish you be praised
Wish you infinite glee
Because it's thanks to you
I've become the Guess Who
